Reviews Summary
Customers say this scalp treatment leaves their hair feeling clean and refreshed. Many reviews mention noticeable results after first use, with users reporting lighter, bouncier hair. While most find it effective for removing buildup, some note challenges with the product's texture and rinsing out small particles. Common feedback includes appreciation for how it helps maintain a cleaner scalp between washes. Some users mention the nozzle can clog, though most find the application process straightforward. Reviews are mixed on the consistency, with some finding it works best as part of a weekly hair care routine.

    Interesting product, seems to work

    Seems to help the scales on the scalp, but I don't really like the feel of it. Will probably repurchase though.

    It must be a joke

    The product (according to customer service) needs to be aggressively shaken to avoid becoming large chunks, as seen in the photo. However, I received the product in this condition. How did I find out? 1. I found pieces of an unknown substance all through my hair after 1st use 2. The applicator nozzle on the bottle clogged so no product was coming out unless titled a certain way 3. I then opened the product to find the entire nozzle full of build up. You can imagine the disgust on my face and panic of what I just put all through my hair.

    Customer service said it was “normal” to find these large chunks in the product and it wasn’t until I demanded a refund that they “graciously” sent me another one.. because that rectifies a faulty/old product. TBA on if the new bottle is full of chunks as well.
